Recipe Hints and Tips
For a chunkier texture, you might also like to chop your vegetables by hand, rather than using the Thermomix.
Don't be alarmed if the cabbage hasn't quite cooked through, it will continue to cook while in the Thermoserver.
If you prefer more sauce with your chow mein, cook the noodles in boiling water before combining with the meat chow mein mixture.
The main trick to getting your Thermomix chow mein to thicken up is to pop it into the ThermoServer for 10-15 minutes before serving it up.
